Discover Monet’s House, Giverny and Versailles - Full-Day Tour
Highlights
• Escape the city like a true Parisian on a day trip that contrasts two of France’s most iconic retreats. Begin with the royal grandeur of Versailles, a symbol of power and classical elegance, and end in the peaceful, flower-filled world of Claude Monet’s Giverny, where nature and art exist in harmony.
• Travel in comfort from central Paris aboard a private, air-conditioned coach. At Versailles, Skip-the-Line Access and an expert English-speaking guide bring to life the opulent Royal Apartments, the Hall of Mirrors, and the stories of Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette. Afterwards, enjoy free time to stroll the vast Gardens of Versailles and relax over lunch at your own pace.
• In the afternoon, journey into the countryside to visit the charming village of Giverny. Explore Monet’s home and the gardens that inspired his masterpieces, from the iconic lily pond to the Japanese bridge, then enjoy free time to wander the picturesque streets and soak in the tranquil atmosphere before returning to Paris.
• Celebrate the 100th anniversary of Claude Monet’s passing in 2026 with a visit to the enchanting home and gardens that inspired his masterpieces.
2026 marks 100 years since Claude Monet's passing, making it an especially meaningful time to visit Giverny, the charming village that inspired many of his most celebrated works.

Make your visit to Giverny part of this exceptional commemorative year and celebrate Monet’s enduring legacy in the place he called home.
Parisians love to escape the city! On this tour, our passionate English-speaking guide will take you to two of France's most remarkable retreats. One, an opulent and luxurious palace built for royalty. The other, an artist's home where the scenery will seem all too familiar. 2026 marks 100 years since Monet’s passing! Make your visit to Giverny part of this exceptional commemorative year.
This tour brings together two of the most iconic destinations just outside of Paris: the opulent Palace of Versailles and the peaceful countryside retreat of Claude Monet’s home and gardens in Giverny. You’ll explore two very different chapters of French history, from the lavish world of baroque royalty to the quiet inspiration behind the Impressionist art movement.
Meet in the center of Paris and travel by private air-conditioned coach to visit the Palace of Versailles, where skip-the-line access and an official palace guide ensure a great experience. Hear stories of Louis XVI, the Sun King, and Marie Antoinette as you visit their royal apartments, the Hall of Mirrors, and more. End the day in the magnificent gardens of Versailles
After your palace visit, you’ll have free time to explore the expansive Gardens of Versailles at your own pace. From April to October, your visit may coincide with the Musical Gardens or Fountain Show, when the fountains come to life in a spectacular display set to classical music (tickets are included on show days). You’ll also have time to enjoy lunch in or near the gardens, with several cafés and picnic areas to choose from.
In the afternoon, leave the grandeur of Versailles behind and head into the peaceful Normandy countryside to Giverny, the final home of Claude Monet. During your scenic drive to the Fondation Claude Monet, your guide will give you an introduction to Monet’s life and legacy.
Then, enjoy a self-guided visit of Monet’s home and gardens at your own pace, using our specially designed audio-guide app, created to enrich your experience with insights into the artist’s world. Wander through vibrant flower beds, cross the famous Japanese bridge, and see the lily pond that inspired so many of his masterpieces. Step inside the ivy-covered home to discover Monet’s personal touches, including his light-filled studio and bright, colourfully decorated rooms.
After visiting the estate, take a stroll through the quaint village of Giverny, filled with artisan shops, cafés, and a peaceful atmosphere that feels a world away from the bustle of Versailles. It's the perfect way to end your day on a calm, inspiring note, surrounded by beauty and nature, just as Monet would have experienced it.
Finally, rejoin your group and return to Paris by coach, with the memories of a day that beautifully balances grandeur and tranquillity.
